Matrix Visual Data Bars Not Applying Hierarchy-Level Formatting

I'm encountering an issue with the matrix visual and the data bar feature when used with cell elements. I expected the data bars to apply at the hierarchy level (specifically, the lowest level), but instead, they are affecting the entire column.

So I expect the data bar of Display > CM 360 to be complety full, but it only shows a small bar because compared to the total it's a small number. I have a measure that could be used, but it seems I cannot use it in the data bar. 

 

Anyone any idea what I did wrong?

Hi @Anonymous 
You did everything right, this is the way the engine works...
Unfortunately, you don't have the option to modify it by hierarchy level.
